She is sure to ignite, incite, and delight the crowd! Don't miss it.

Another thing not to miss is projecting the right image with a professional headshot. These sessions can cost hundreds of dollars.

In the articles of interest below, I was recently published in the AANLCP Summer Peer - Reviewed Excellence in Life Care Planning Journal My article on marketing strategies to grow your business is below. 7 Important Hacks for Effective Social Media also gives good information on getting leads! Lou and I owned a senior care company for several years and I routinely went out into the community teaching about caregiving. It all became too real when both of our mothers were diagnosed with dementia disorders within months of each other in 2007. We became one of the statistics of the Sandwich Generation; having a small child on one side and parents requiring help on the other. Someday I will write that story, but for now, I am sharing the beautifully written article, Guilt, the Caregivers Nemesis. I wish I had the opportunity to read back when. I hope it helps someone that finds themselves traveling the caregiver’s journey.

Do you recall the children’s movie that was a big hit a couple of years ago that had the theme song with the line, “Let it go, let it go.”? Yes, the one EVERYONE was singing and that you could not get out of your head for the rest of the day after hearing it. It is now, most likely, running through you mind at this brief suggestion. Good. Hold that thought.
